I watch on tv the sixtieth
anniversary of bombing Nagasaki:
Japanese students offer bowls
of water, hung with streamers,
in memory of the burned.
Some died by melting, others
had their skin peeled and perished
exposing their innards to fiery hell.
The Japanese Prime Minister talks
of peace, of people, and of war.
Sobs escape my clenched teeth.
